Electronic lock and light colour control method for same

Abstract

Disclosed are an electronic lock (100) and a light colour control method for the electronic lock (100). The electronic lock (100) comprises a lock body (1), a lock hook (2), at least two shifting beads (3), a lock shifter (4), a motor (5), a motor actuator (6), and an elastic member (7), wherein the shifting beads (3), the lock shifter (4), the motor (5) and the motor actuator (6) are mounted in the lock body (1), the motor actuator (6) is mounted on the motor (5) and interlinked with the lock shifter (4), the lock hook (2) is mounted on the lock body (1) and is able to move with respect to the lock body (1), the shifting beads (3) cooperate with the lock hook (2) such that the electronic lock (100) is transformable between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the elastic member (7) is mounted in the lock body (1) and exerts an acting force on the shifting beads (3) in opposite directions towards the lock hook (2) so that the shifting beads (3) do not exert any acting force on the lock shifter (4) during a progress of unlocking and locking. In the electronic lock (100), the shifting beads (3) do not exert any acting three on the motor (5) during a progress of unlocking and locking, and the motor (5) is in an unloaded state, thereby lowering demand for power supply and for the voltage and power of the motor (5), reducing energy loss and prolonging the service life of the electronic lock.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a lock, in particular an electronic lock, and to a method for controlling light colour of the electronic lock.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]With the continuous introduction of high technology into traditional locks, the security function of a lock has been sufficiently extended and enhanced, and the electronic lock has become an indispensable part of a classified security system and cannot be replaced with any mechanical lock in terms of importance and function. Due to its huge market potential, many local and international companies have been dedicating substantial manpower and resources for developing and manufacturing electronic locks.[0003]An electronic lock mainly comprises a lock body, a lock hook, shifting beads, a lock shifter, a motor, etc., and uses the operation of the motor to cause the lock shifter to rotate so as to leave space for the shifting beads to retreat, such that when the lock hook is pulled upwards, the...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This design reduces energy consumption and prolongs the service life of the electronic lock by minimizing power demand and voltage requirements, as the motor operates without loading during locking and unlocking.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of the current electronic lock, resistance in transmission the motor receives while operating causes energy loss of the motor, increasing demand for power supply and for the voltage and power of the motor and shortening the service life of the electronic lock.
